This is my first C++ project in around 10 years. My goal was to refresh some basic C++ skills by developing a simple game. I wanted to create a complete gaming experience rather than just bare gameplay, so I chose Tetris. Fun fact: despite spending countless hours playing Tetris in my childhood, I had never come across SRS logic before. I haven't fully implemented that system because I found some of its rules, such as the upward movement of tetrominos, awkward. In the end, the outcome is quite good as the game is fully playable, and the clearing lines effect is very satisfying, encouraging players to continue and strive for highscores.
